Danath Trollbane by Sarm Kahel

Danath is a disruptive presence to the enemy team at all points during combat. By making effective use of his Basic Abilities enhanced by Swords and Board, he can lock down multiple targets, and give his assassins room to do their work. In group comps that lack damage he can use his talents to specialize into options that allow him to deal considerable sustained damage to squishy targets, often locking them down simultaneously. He is also great at absorbing damage from champions who rely on basic attacks to deal damage.

While Danath is a force to be reckoned with, without the proper support from his team, or against powerful mages, he can be taken down fairly quickly. The Spell Reflect talent can give him a bit of counterplay against foes like Jaina or Kael'thas, but he has little escape beyond slowing his opponants down with Crowd Control and few ways to deal with sustained powerful ability damage.
